Dr. Jack

Hopefully I am starting this thread in the proper place. I am following the ideas of other members to keep a log so to speak of the 92 Explorer now know as Dr. Jack.
It all started a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, oops,wrong story.
A while back in the spring/summer time frame of 2009. I was asked by an EF member if I ever do any 4wheeling, I told him I had done a bit in Death Valley but not much, this is when he intoduced me to the EF family. We made plans for me to join him as a rider in the CCR09 at Ouray. We did a pre-run in Moab where I meet Bronco2guy, Amy, and Chad551. Then on to Ouray where I meet a lot of fine peeps in the EF family. I had such a blast that I decided to start a project, I have always liked off roading but all the groups I meet seemed to have a "better than thou" idea.
Giving myself two years for the project, I started keeping an eye on the forum and looking around for ideas, then the 92 Explorer of Dr. John "Jack" Lobdell popped up on Craig's list in New Mexico, by following the forum I became aware of the sale, and by contact with other members I came to learn that this was a special vehicle from a special member. Lady Luck smiled on me, as I was able to use my brother's trailer to go pick up the vehicle. Robert rode with me and am I glad he did, his help was great. Got the rig back home and am now beginning to go over it, will keep upates as I go

LOL, I would love to, but would get evicted real quick!

Being mounted tomorrow, Jon!! Got a good rain here finally and the ground is kinda wet, but not soaked.

It's lighter than I expected, thought I would get a herina when I picked it up but didn't weigh as much as I thought it would.

 

[reapereviltwin]

Got it mounted!!! Still have hook up power and test.

Also found out the air compressor was delivered today. From now on, will have stuff delivered to my bro's house. His UPS driver ain't a dipstick.

Glad to Bro, remember I mentioned that parts in the EF seem to go from rig to rig!!

Hooked up the power supply and ran it out a bit, smooth operation, but will find out under load this weekend. And it is nice to get a remote with batteries included.

I'm thinking of the well under the bench seat in the rear, was planning on removing the seat anyhow, I will try that position first, and if it don't seem to be an ideal spot, then will look at other options.
